Caversham Wildlife Park

Good spot for visitors to interact with Australian wildlife. We came from the USA and loved feeding and petting the Kangaroos, interacting with the Koala Bears, and seeing all.of the other animals. It is well.laid out for a half day adventure.

I visited with a couple of friends and honestly felt like a kid again. The park is quite big with lots of animals to see. My favourite part was the meet-the-koala session, being able to touch one and take a photo was such a special experience. They’re so adorable and fluffy. We also enjoyed the farm show, and feeding the kangaroos was really fun. It’s very interactive, which makes the whole visit even better. I came during the Easter long weekend so it was pretty busy, but still enjoyable. The staff were friendly and helpful even though they looked quite busy. There’s plenty of parking, and it’s located inside Whiteman Park, so it’s easy to spend a few hours (or more) here. It’s a great place for kids but honestly fun for all ages. Such a happy day overall, would definitely recommend!

I loved every bit of Caversham Wildlife Park! I would give it a 6 stars if I could! It was amazing to see so many native Australian animals up close, including kangaroos, koalas, wombats, and reptiles. Unlike Melbourne Zoo, where enclosures felt empty, Caversham offers abundant wildlife, intimate and an immersive interaction experience. You can easily spend 4–5 hours here. Pro tip: Don't wear your best sneakers! You’ll be walking right up to the kangaroos for photos, so you might step in some poop.The farm show was a highlight—watching the herding dog, seeing a sheep shearing demonstration, and even getting to milk a cow! It’s also wonderful to see how they involve volunteers to care for the animals. They were patient to explain and share about the animals. Very patient and you didn’t really feel rushed when it was an up close with a specific animal. Highly recommend!

It was such a fun, family-friendly experience! Check their website beforehand for the special events happening on the half-hour, as the various events aren't happening that close to each other and will require planning and prioritisation. The Farm Show we started with gave a good appetiser to the Park with a brief introduction to sheep shearing and other farm tasks involving animals. Make time for Molly's Farm and the Reptile House - these do not have shows at fixed times, but are interesting enough to plan for spending time exploring these areas. The Koala encounter involves some queuing but the queue moves fast, giving groups and families and a chance to get close to a Koala and take photos together. Carrying a Koala requires separate paying though. Note that a photo with a wombat also requires a separate ticket purchase at the gift shop near the park entrance. This means pre-planning helps - the wombats are housed at nearly the furthest end of the park, and if you decide to take a photo with them only when you reach them, you'd have to head back to the gift shop to get a ticket. Kangaroo feeding is a must - the feed is provided, and you get to enter a wide area with free-roaming kangaroos and attempt to feed them. The entrance and exit to the Kangaroo Walk-through are adjacent and both very near to the farm entrance. The food served at the Kiosk is frozen and heated upon order - but it was surprisingly satisfying! We had Mac & Cheese, Shepherd's Pie and Lasagna - we enjoyed them :) Overall a must-visit!
